Sean McMullen is one of Australia's top science fiction authors, with nominations for the Hugo and BSFA awards, fifteen other awards, and works published in over a dozen languages.
McMullen … is a cannier sf writer than Phillip K. Dick ever was … working in a genre that has developed a great deal more self-identity … There is a wide range of ideas on display here, each one worked out thoroughly. This is what science fiction is for, not tales of slavery in far-flung galactic empires, genocide on alien worlds, or mass murder in alternate realities.
